Chapter 989: Brother-in-law in the Mirror



On the other side, Xue Huan arrived at Xiaoxiang Peak in Yunwu Mountain and found the tombs that Xiao Jue had built for the Yun family in the maple forest in the south.

Because the Yun family members were "sinners", Xiao Jue did not erect a monument for them to prevent others from discovering and destroying it.

However, this is indeed the burial place of all the Yun family members, because the blood-dripping dart is circling above.

There are a total of 128 tombs of various sizes. The largest one in the middle is Yun Tianci's tomb, which shows signs of having been dug up.

Thinking that Yun Tianci was buried here properly by Xiao Jue's men, and was later dug out by Xiao Kun, Xue Huan regretted not punching him.

She buried Yun Tianci's head again, released Yun Che from the Qiankun bottle, and took him to kowtow and burn incense to everyone in the Yun family. In front of each grave, they offered wine, fruits, cakes and pastries, and burned a lot of paper money.

Yun Che was sobbing and hiccuping, his little body twitching. Xue Huan's eyes were also moist. She hugged him and said to the Yun family, "Grandma, Dad, Mom, Second Aunt, Third Aunt..."

She addressed all the members of the Yun family buried here one by one, "Don't worry, Huan'er will take good care of Che'er and raise him up. As for the Yun family's revenge, one day Huan'er will bring the heads of the Xiao family father and son as a sacrifice to you."

Finally, she knelt down deeply and kowtowed three times.

When the moon reached the zenith and the incense had burned out, Xue Huan took Yun Che, who had fallen asleep in her arms, onto the spirit boat and returned to the painting building on Xiaogui Peak.

After placing Yun Che on the bed, taking off his shoes and outer clothes, and performing a cleaning spell on him, Xue Huan tucked the little fellow, who was sleeping like a pig, into the quilt.

She also took off her shoes and leaned against the headboard. She took out the mirror that Yuan Xi had given her earlier and called softly to the watery mirror: "Yuan Xi."

Ripples appeared on the mirror. When they subsided, Yuan Xi's handsome face appeared on the mirror. "Hanhuan, you finally remembered me."

There was a hint of resentment in his tone.

Xue Huan pointed her finger at his face, smiling broadly, "Missed me? It's my fault. I should have contacted you earlier, but I've been busy all day and only just had a break. As soon as I had some free time, I contacted you immediately. Don't be mad at me, okay?"

When had Yuan Xi ever been angry with her?

"I'm not angry." He just suddenly experienced the feeling of "missing love and being hurt by it".

Xue Huan smiled and asked him, "Do you know what I did today?"

Yuan Xi shook his head and asked her, "What did Huanhuan do?"

Xue Huan told him all the big and small things that happened that day. Yuan Xi listened carefully, his eyes focused and gentle.

After Xue Huan finished speaking, Yuan Xi looked at him and reacted, reporting his schedule for the day.

Compared to her "wonderful" day, Yuan Xi's day was extremely monotonous. He just meditated, strengthened the formation, eliminated monsters, and thought about her.

"Sister, who are you talking to?" Yun Che, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up. He rubbed his eyes, sat up, climbed onto Xue Huan, and looked into the mirror in her hand.

Then I met a god-like face.

Yun Che's eyes opened wide, his mouth formed into an "O" shape, and he stared blankly at the person in the mirror, saliva accidentally flowing out of the corner of his mouth.

Yuan Xi: “…”

Is this Huanhuan's only remaining relative in this world, her three-year-old cousin? He looks so silly and cute.

Xue Huan taught Yun Che: "Call me brother-in-law."

Yun Che followed his instructions and called out, “Brother-in-law.”

Calling him brother-in-law made Yuan Xi's ears red again, but he pretended to be calm on the surface: "Yeah, good boy."

The first time he met his cousin, he should have given him a gift, but unfortunately he couldn't go over now. However, he could send a puppet over.

Yuan Xi began to think about the feasibility of having the puppet travel thousands of miles to deliver the gift.

Yun Che leaned into Xue Huan's arms and asked her, "Sister, what is a brother-in-law?"

Xue Huan burst out laughing, and only after she finished yelling did she remember to ask, how could he be so cute! She rubbed the little guy and kissed him again, then explained: "Brother-in-law is my husband, your sister. Your brother-in-law and I are like your mother and your father."

Yun Che felt that he understood, "Then, will my sister and brother-in-law give birth to a little brother in the future?"

After these words were spoken, the two people who had just confirmed their relationship but had not yet had sex felt a little embarrassed.

"Well, little brother is still far away."

The two adults and the child were video chatting remotely through a mirror, just like a family, for more than an hour. Until Yun Che was too sleepy to open his eyes, Xue Huan urged him to go to bed. Only then did he let go of the mirror and fell asleep in her arms.

"I need to take a break too. Let's talk later." Xue Huan ended the video with this sentence.

Yunwu Villa, where the fifth prince Xiao Jue cultivates his cultivation.

The capital city is full of people and things. Even if you stay indoors, you still can't avoid some disturbances. But it's different in the mountains. It's much quieter.

Xiao Jue has lived here for two years and only goes back once a year during the New Year.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, he sat in a wheelchair and was pushed by his servants to the lake to start fishing.

Fishing requires time and patience, both of which he has in abundance.

A servant came over and said, "Your Highness, there's a girl outside who says she's an old friend of yours and wants to see you. She asked me to give this to you, saying you'll know who she is once you see it."

The servant handed a grasshopper to Xiao Jue.

When Xiao Jue saw the grasshopper, he knew who it was. In his entire life, he had only made grasshoppers for one person. He took the green grasshopper and gently placed it in his palm, "Please let her in."

A slim woman in a white dress and a red belt came to the lake with the servant. Xiao Jue looked at the gradually approaching figure and his eyes became dazed.

The person who came was both familiar and unfamiliar. What was familiar was her figure, but what was unfamiliar was her face, a face he had never seen before.

Coming in front of Xiao Jue, the woman said, "Can we talk alone for a while?"

As soon as the voice came out, Xiao Jue was sure that it was her, Yun Huan.

She probably used some method to cover up her original face.

Xiao Jue waved his hand, signaling everyone around him to step aside. The servant who had just pushed his wheelchair was his regular attendant, named Acong. He glanced at the woman with some concern, "Your Highness..."

"A Cong, go over there and guard it. Don't let anyone disturb us."

Acong had no choice but to agree and retreated to the entrance of the garden, watching the two people by the lake from afar.

The woman looked into Xiao Jue's eyes, smiled faintly, reached out her hand and brushed her face, then returned to her original appearance.

Xiao Jue: "Ahuan, it really is you."

The woman was Xue Huan. She nodded, stepped forward, took Xiao Jue's hand, felt his pulse, and said her first words since they met: "I can heal your injuries and get you back on your feet, but in return, you must agree to one condition. When the time is right, you will help our Yun family clear our name and restore our good reputation. How do you do that?"
